The images for Figs 4 and 5 are incorrectly switched. The image that appears as Fig 4 should be Fig 5, and the image that appears as Fig 5 should be Fig 4. The figure captions appear in the correct order.

Fig 4. Association of disease with the average humidity for the study year 2012.

Fig 4

Higher humidity was correlated with a higher number of cases of malaria, enteric fever and diarrhea, but inversely correlated with meningitis, encephalitis and pneumonia. Two-way ANOVA test was applied to obtain the level of significance.

Fig 5. Association of disease with the average rainfall for the study year 2012.

Fig 5

Higher incidences of encephalitis and meningitis occurred while there was low rainfall. Incidences of diarrhea, malaria, pneumonia and enteric fever increased with rainfall. Two-way ANOVA test was applied to obtain the level of significance.
